Changing of tasksel from arch all to arch any



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Today while talking about the removal of laptop-detect from tasksel
depends list, specially for s390, vorlon noticed that we'd need to
change tasksel from arch all to arch any to make it possible.

Obviously it adds some complexity since tasksel-data would need
to be build in all arches.

Thinking about it, I come up with following possible solution:

tasksel:

 - change laptop-detect from a depends to a recommends

hw-detect:

 - install laptop-detect if available (probably a post-base-installer script)

laptop-detect:

 - work to get it removed from all arches that it makes no sense

Doing it, we avoid the work of having tasksel-data as arch any and
also avoid laptop-detect installation on all architectures.

What others think about this possible solution?
